Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Preview images, videos, fonts, PDFs ... in Vifm.
As a Vim enthusiast, I always wanted to replicate my daily workflow based on keymappings and completely avoid using the mouse. I missed the functionality offered by tools like ranger or lf in Vifm, but I didn't want to learn a whole new set of keyboard shortcuts. I watched several YouTube videos trying to recreate this setup, but none quite hit the mark. The project that inspired this work didn't fully meet its intended functionality.

Command Line Tools I Like (2022)
lf is similar (I switched a system Python version update broke ranger). https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
I have it integrated into zsh so the current directory is whatever dir I was in when exiting lf.

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
A very good alternative to ranger is lf https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
It's a lot faster in all aspects, has mostly the same features and is pretty much a standalone binary.

Yazi: Fast terminal file manager based on async I/O
I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

What are the best open source tools to easily navigate directories from the command line?
Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.
- Switching from unix - Is there a plugin or something similar to Ranger or NNN?

Switching Fully to Neovim
Additionally, I integrate several CLI tools into my work flow, such as lazygit for streamlined Git operations, yazi as a terminal file manager, tmux for session management, and lazydocker for handling Docker containers efficiently.

So You Want to Write Java in Neovim
I can recommend the yazi CLI tool for filesystem traversal:
https://yazi-rs.github.io
It has support for fzf and zoxide for these uses. As well as a panoply of other goodies (ripgrep, file previews, commands without exiting the file explorer, etc.)
If one is willing to learn helix instead of nvim, I know there's integrations out there between the two as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there were for nvim as well.

Command Line Tools I Like (2022)
I used to use ranger, but have since switched to yazi[1] for speed and out of the box image support. (Ranger can do the same, but I think you have to set the preview_images_method[2]).

Ratatui
I think a lot of Ratatui apps will tend to land on similar concepts for your app. There's a few good examples of apps using a component approach rather than just widgets that I'm aware of:
- https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi
- https://github.com/TaKO8Ki/gobang
- https://github.com/nomadiz/edma
Perhaps the intuitive crate would make a good abstraction on top of Ratatui?
What are some alternatives?
ranger - A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console
joshuto - ranger-like terminal file manager written in Rust
nnn - n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager
xplr - A hackable, minimal, fast TUI file explorer
